We began exploring the grounds…It was a lovely afternoon. The sky a bright blue and the grass so green…we wandered around the remains of the old church, looked at the gravestones, the engravings and the stained glass windows. It was so quiet and so beautiful…The gardens were gorgeous and it was such bliss to wander around and hear only the birds and the bees - no cars or bustling city noises!
The gothic building is itself fantastic and I would have absolutely loved to be in one of Ettington Park’s four poster rooms in the old part of the hotel as I am sure I would have felt a Lady of the manor with the greatest of ease! As it was, our room was nice but nothing grand. The bathroom was big, with some lovely toiletries and of course - a fluffy bathrobe (one of my pre-requisites to any special hotel stay!)
